Yeti:

I keep on thinking about it. I've got my old "green monster" that I was issued in '92, and it's been washed and dried to the point where it's thinned down some. I don't want to cut on it until I'm confident in my skills, and the new ones I picked up are still way too thick and fuzzy. I'm going to practice some more, and probably wash the new blankets until they thin down some, then try with one of them.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
